City accuses developer and county of

STRONG-ARMING OXNARD OVER

FISHERMAN’S WHARF

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- The California Coastal Commission’s unanimous rejection of the Ventura County Harbor Department’s request for an LCP (Local Coastal Plan) amendment override of the Coastal Land Use Plan (LUP) and Coastal Zoning Ordinance of the certified City of Oxnard LCP at Fisherman’s Wharf continues with Harbor Director Mark Sandoval saying that evidence does not demonstrate that the Local Coastal Plan Amendment will meet the public needs of an area greater than the LCP.

HE item drew tons of passionate response and emotion, as people vehemently challenged the project. Members of the Oxnard City Council spoke against the project and accused the developer of dismissing community input and doing what it wants. Councilman Bert Perello told the commission the developer planned to sue the city if not approved. He accused the county of doing nothing and allowing the site to fall into disrepair., Sandoval told the commission that Channel Islands Harbor is a resource for all area residents and beyond. “Fisherman’s Wharf was developed with harbors in the 1960s and 1970s

that provided a link between land and water,” he said. “It was part of the allure drawing visitors to harbors from all over the state.” Approximately 18 percent of the marina’s customers reside in Oxnard, and 28 percent live in Ventura County, but outside of Oxnard. “A full 56 percent reside outside Ventura County,” he said. “This is a regional asset with a regional draw. The Fisherman’s Wharf retail center, which is and has been 70 percent vacant, is an integral part of that development, but it cannot be developed as a standalone project.” Because the amendment lacks sufficient specificity and standards, n Fisherman’s Wharf, see page 5

Oxnard-- The conversation with Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem and Ventura County District Five Board of Supervisor candidate Carmen Ramirez continues with her frustration over the Fisherman’s Wharf redevelopment issue and their use of videos featuring Spanish-

speakers advocating the project. Ramirez faces Oxnard Mayor Tim Flynn in the Nov. election, as neither received 50 percent of the vote necessary to win. The official vote total of the Super Tuesday primary in May had Carmen Ramirez with 7,137 votes and 27.88 percent and Tim Flynn with 7,475 votes and 29.20 percent. Despite Covid-19, the campaign

keeps moving forward as volunteers have over 2,000 postcards to send out on Ramirez’s behalf that will be mailed in late Aug. The campaign continues its aggressive phone banking efforts to get the message out to the public. Ramirez wanted to know who approached the people in the videos and asked for redevelopment at the Wharf. n Ramirez, see page 7

Port Hueneme-- Congress woman Julia Brownley held a press conference Aug. 20, at 3:15 p.m. at the post office in response to concerns from constituents who have experienced delayed or interrupted mail service. The post office has been hit hard because of Covid-19. The six-member board of governors, a bipartisan commission appointed by President Donald Trump, advised a $25 billion bailout the United States House of Representatives passed. Brownley’s concern centered around restoring the post office to the service level it enjoyed on Jan. 1 before Covid-19 hit and ensuring access to mail-in ballots during the election. According to the U.S. Government Accounting Office, the post office has lost $69 billion over the past 11 fiscal years—including $3.9 billion in the fiscal year 2018. Brownley told the crowd that from its outset, the post office set out to bind the country together and facilitate citizen inclusion. “At the time, the post office was an important distributor of the news, via home-delivered newspapers,” she said. “In addition to distributing the news to our fledgling nation, it also connected the state government, allowed businesses to expand and was inarguably the foundation on which our just democratic and free society was built.” As the country grew and became n Brownley, see page 6

T h e b es t s en ten ce i n t h e wo r ld By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—Do you want to know the happiest sentence in the world? It’s “Hi Dad; I’m back from my deployment in the Middle East, and I’m safe.”

OU know, like a normal dad, I worry, but it’s extra bonus worries for me because my son, Sergeant Colin Raynor Frost, a bomb technician in the United States Air Force, took an eight-month field trip to get rid of explosive ordinance in the Middle East. He wanted to know if I was okay when he texted me. Are you kidding? I’m sitting in the same spot and writing stories. You were on the other side of the world doing a dangerous job, so the more appropriate question is, are you okay? When your child is on the other side of the world and going out to undisclosed destinations, your imagination tends to get the best of you. An excellent example of that is sitting in front of the television watching stories about an explosion in Lebanon. Many people got hurt and killed, and I had no idea where he was. What did I do? I sent him a text to ask him if he

is okay. Of course, he was a little out of cell phone range, but I sent it anyway. When we spoke about that incident, Colin told me that Lebanon was far away from him, and he was never in any danger. My thought was good, thank God. His day-to-day life was boring, at best, he said, and his least favorite part of his trip was shower time.

Jimenez and Pedro arrested by the Oxnard Police Oxnard-- On Aug. 20, 2020, at approximately 6:30 p.m., the Oxnard Police Department Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) and the Oxnard Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) were conducting a narcotics investigation at a residence in the 1100 block of South L Street. During the investigation, officers observed Miguel Angel Jimenez, a 38-yearold Oxnard resident, exit the home and enter a vehicle. Detectives knew Jimenez had an outstanding warrant for his arrest and contacted him while he was seated in the vehicle. Jimenez surrendered without incident, and he possessed a large quantity of Fentanyl and Methamphetamine. Jimenez was additionally charged with possession for sale of Fentanyl, a felony, and possession for sale of Methamphetamine, a felony. During the investigation, a second known wanted subject, Arturo Pedro, fled from detectives and barricaded himself inside of the residence. SEU Officers attempted to gain compliance for over an hour, and Pedro refused to surrender. K9 Leo and K9 Rocky responded to the scene, and SEU Officers made

Additionally, he possessed ammunition. Pedro is prohibited from possessing ammunition due to his criminal history and was additionally charged with being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition, a felony.

soap up, turn the water back on for a minute or two, and then, you’re done. This is a kid who loved his showers, and he spent lots of time soaking his head and making sure his poor dad had a cold shower. Colin didn’t enjoy the lack of entertainment, and he did say that giving up Netflix was tough. One thing that struck me as odd was the video games they played. It seems strange to play war and destruction games when you’re in a combat zone. They had books and music too. He liked the food situation and was grateful because some people he got deployed with had to deal with rationed food. The featured carbo was porridge, he said, so having a commissary was a blessing. He also enjoyed coming home to be with his wife Jaze and said, seeing her welcome him home was the best. She planned a big celebration, and he was happy.

Now, he gets to stay home on leave for a while, and Colin said he’s going back to college and plans on studying engineering. He told me that he should have listened to me when he first went to school. Wait, you’re telling me that I was right? Somebody should issue a commemorative coin or something. That never happens. I felt like I was on a roll, so I asked him when he and Jaze were going to give me and the J-Train grandkids, and I said seven kids was a good number. Well, Jaze mumbled something, and Colin took me off the speakerphone. I guess I got too cocky. Next up for us is a big family reunion, hopefully by the end of the year. As always, I am proud of my son, and this country owes Colin and every soldier a big thank you. Don’t forget that. We live in the greatest country on the planet. God bless the USA.

Fisherman’s Wharf continued from page 1

Sandoval said it’s possible that future residential development could be of a size scale, so layout and design can potentially impact or limit existing and future public access. “The application to the city and the coastal commission included detail development standards separated into four categories,” he said. “They include specific standards about required public amenities, the number of units, the square feet of commercial, building height, and variations, setbacks, corridors, and open space requirements.” The reprioritization of uses is inconsistent with the LCP and Coastal Act requirements. Those prioritize fishing, recreational, coastal development, and visitorserving uses at waterfront locations. “Opponents have argued that this is a residential development which secondarily refurbishes a commercial center,” he said. “The harbor is a regional asset, and as such, a vibrant gateway with retail and a commercial center is of the utmost importance. The county set out to redevelop Fisherman’s Wharf in 2004. Through two separate RFQ’s (Request for Quotations), we had negotiations with three different development teams and proposed project mixes that started at 800 apartment units and are now down to 390. It became obvious that Fisherman’s Wharf, the gateway to the harbor, needs a financial anchor, and in this case, it’s residential.” The city adopted its 2030 general plan in 2011 that endorsed apartments at the site. He said the county moved forward with an LCP amendment featuring projectspecific development standards requiring new, expanded, and

enhanced public access, along with recreational and boating amenities through mixed-use development. The commission staff report calling into prioritization and reprioritization of uses, Sandoval said, is counter to the reason for and, more importantly, the need for apartments to revitalize the Fisherman’s Wharf commercial center, a revitalization that will do nothing but enhance coastal act priorities. Reasonable alternatives have not been examined, he said, and mitigation measures have not been included that substantially lessen any significant adverse impact. There is no feasible, environmentally damaging course of action to meet the public need. In April 2017, at the commission staff ’s request, the County submitted a detailed alternatives analysis, which evaluated 11 alternatives offered to the city and the Coastal Commission. That analysis included consideration of environmental factors that analyzed environmental impacts. “The staff report notes that these were included but have not been provided to the commission or analyzed by them,” he said. “It again omitted a critical step in balancing the coastal act override process it requires.” Approval of the override will be contrary to the coastal act’s priority for the coastal dependent and related development along the coast, Sandoval said, and it would maximize public recreational activities along the coast. “We share the expanded and enhanced public access and amenities, and revitalizing visitor-

serving commercial uses,” Sandoval said. “Along with safe and efficient commercial fishing facilities, there are enhanced on-water recreation facilities and improved on-water public access.” The detailed development standards would be met by approving the LCP amendment. “Unfortunately, this project cannot be developed without residential as a financial anchor,” he said. “The opponents contend that the apartments will not fit in the harbor. The apartment complex will be 683 feet long and 55 feet high. Just across the channel, there is an apartment complex that is nearly 2,500 feet long and over 43 feet high. There is also on the peninsula two condominium units that are 250 feet long and 55 feet high. There is an existing hotel that is 470 feet long and over 50 feet high. Most importantly, there is a planned hotel that we all agreed to and supported. It will be 800 feet long and 55 feet high. This development will fit within the harbor.” He said the LCP amendment addresses environmental justice perfectly. “It is environmentally unjust to keep a dilapidated and open area adjacent to the water as is, so those who are privileged enough to live by the water can keep it that way,” Sandoval said. “It is environmentally just to develop a vibrant, active retail center with all the amenities addressed in our development standards for all income groups.” The Fisherman’s Wharf redevelopment process began in 2004 when the lessee abandoned the site. In 2009, Oxnard and Ventura County started discussing development. In 2011, the city adopted its 2030 general plan, which included a residential and commercial mixed-use concept at Fisherman’s Wharf that included an urban village. “That set-in motion a plan to redevelop the site using a mixeduse concept,” Sandoval said. “In 2012, the county issued a second RFQ including residential mixed-use as an option. The only developers who responded where developers with mixed-use. In 2015 and 2016, the county and developer went to great lengths to meet with the public and the city. Throughout this process, changes were made to the project. At that time, the city staff supported the project.” That all changed in 2016, he said, which led to a 2017 dispute resolution where the commission and staff recommended the county work through the city’s LCP amendment process. “At that hearing, Executive Director Jack Ainsworth indicted this project needed to go through the LCP amendment process,” Sandoval said. “The commission

chair stated that I hear the frustration of the harbor. I think if the City of Oxnard can’t cooperate, the LCP amendment becomes a problem instead of the solution. I trust the executive director to let us know, and then take some type of action, such as taking jurisdiction, we have the ability to do this.” The Harbor Department submitted an LCP to the city in Jan. 2018. In Nov. 2019, the city denied it outright. “That leaves us no alternative than to appeal to you,” he said. “Now, we are here. Opponents contend that you can build apartments anywhere. This is not an apartment project. It will redevelop a decrepit regional asset into an inviting one, and a mixed-use seaside village, which requires the inclusion of apartments to make it work.” Supervisor Kelly Long advocated a thriving Channel Islands Harbor. “I am asking the commissioners and honorable chair to assume jurisdiction and move forward on this process,” she said. “I want to make sure we are building a healthy, living, and active recreational harbor. Mixed-use is extremely important because it provides economic diversity and housing opportunities. It still provides our needed recreation.” County Executive Officer Mike Powers noted that Fisherman’s Wharf had been a long process with a developer that has shown tremendous commitment. “I attended the dispute resolution in 2017 and walked away understanding the county needed to go through the city amendment process,” he said. “As recommended, the county has been going through the process since early 2018, although we did not get there. Before then, we had good meetings with Executive Director Ainsworth and his team, as well as city management leadership. For a host of reasons, we did not get a resolution. We also had constructive meetings with two of our board members, Harbor Director Sandoval and me, as well as two council members, City Manager Alex Nguyen and his team. Although we did not resolve issues, we were looking at harbor issues in general; they were positive and productive discussions.” Powers said that many people perceive this as the county and city in conflict, but the two collaborate more often than they realize. “Let’s build on this collaboration,” he said. Oxnard Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden, along with Mayor Tim Flynn, Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez, and Councilman Bert Perello, spoke on behalf of the city. Golden congratulated the commission and said its staff report

laid out the reasons for denying the override well. “Your staff has been terrific partners, as we work through many coastal issues in our city,” Golden said. “The city reviewed the staff analysis and agrees with the staff recommendation.” Ramirez said the city wants respect for its process. “It’s puzzling to me why that has not been the case,” she said. “I am a former legal aid attorney, and I have spent decades supporting affordable housing and the rights of tenants. Our city has been doing a great job providing a great of that kind of housing. We have approved lots of housing that is affordable. However, this project by the developer and the county includes not one unit of affordable housing. You would be approving a project that would be an exclusive enclave. The developer said this will be the most expensive housing in the area, in Oxnard for sure. There is no affordable housing. That’s not what environmental justice requires.” During the last RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Assessment) cycle, she said the city approved 5,244 housing units, including 902 lowincome units, and other moderateincome units. “We want to continue to have coastal access for our low-income residents who are still going to the area for recreation,” she said. “They want to be by the water and boats that are available, and not be excluded by an exclusive and intimidating community that looks like a fortress.” Perello said the project is in the heart of the community he represents. “As a councilman, it is important that I listen to the concerns of my constituents and also consider the important issues that the city as a whole face,” he said. “That includes the city potentially giving up its authority. The county and developer have not listened to input from the public. This project remained with no meaningful changes since the city first learned of this project in Aug. 2016, when the county and developer tried to go around the city’s jurisdiction. In the fall of 2016, the developer and country demanded on multiple occasions that the city rubber stamp this highdensity, high-end project, or the county and developer would sue the city. They would sue the City of Oxnard for standing up for its authority and its legal rights. My city refused to go along with until the public had input regarding the project-specific LCP amendment. The county and public have not listened to input from the public at various meetings.” This story will conclude on Sept. 4.

Governor Newsom Announces Major Plan to More than Double State’s Testing Capacity, Reduce Turnaround Time Contract with diagnostics company will allow California to process up to an additional 150,000 COVID-19 tests a day with a contractual turnaround time of 24-48 hours Groundbreaking deal will disrupt testing market and drive down cost of tests for everyone; it expands California’s ability to fight COVID-19 and protect essential workers and those most at risk of infection SACRAMENTO -- Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that California has signed a groundbreaking contract with a major diagnostics company, which will allow California to process up to an additional 150,000 COVID-19 diagnostic tests a day, with a contractual turnaround time of 24-48 hours. The goal is to stand up a laboratory facility and begin processing tens of thousands of additional tests by November 1 and run at full capacity by ¬no later than March 1, 2021.

HIS first-of-its-kind agreement aims to disrupt the testing marketplace, help break supply chain logjams and drive down the costs for tests for every Californian. It will greatly expand California’s ability to track and prevent COVID-19 infections across the state and create additional testing capacity that will allow the state to increase testing in communities at high risk for contracting COVID-19, like essential workers, those in congregate settings and communities of color. “California is using its market power to combat global supply chain

challenges and protect Californians in the fight against COVID-19. Supply chains across the country have slowed as demand for COVID-19 tests has increased, and flu season will only exacerbate the problem,” said Governor Newsom. “So we are building our own laboratory capabilities right here on California soil with a stable supply chain to fight the disease, lower the prices of testing for everyone and protect Californians most at risk from COVID-19.” Under the contract with PerkinElmer, the state will utilize polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic testing, which is

considered to be the gold standard in testing. The state continues to evaluate new technological breakthroughs in testing, which is why this contract includes provisions that enable the contractor to adopt new technology at a lower price point. Additionally, the state plans to leverage multiple technologies or modalities with multiple laboratory partners to ensure that we diversify our testing capabilities. The per-test cost would be $30.78 at 150,000 tests per day. For context, Medicare and Medicaid both reimburse at roughly $100 per test, while the average cost of a COVID-19 test ranges from $150 - $200 per test. To support this contract at the lowest cost to taxpayers, the state will enter into a contract for third-party billing services to recoup costs from health insurance companies or other payers. “Californians need testing that is accessible, equitable, cost-effective and timely,” said Senate Budget Chair Senator Holly Mitchell. “This deal

meets all those metrics.” “Our Latino community is disproportionately devastated by this public health crisis. Latinos perform the essential work in our agricultural fields, our garment factories and our meatpacking plants that increase their chances of contracting COVID-19 and put their lives at risk,” said California Latino Legislative Caucus Chair Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez. “Expanding testing for all Californians means that our essential workers will have more access to information to protect themselves, their families and their communities.” “Black Californians have been disproportionately sickened and killed by COVID-19,” said California Legislative Black Caucus Chair Assemblymember Shirley Weber. “I am pleased that Governor Newsom is prioritizing more testing equity for all Californians.” Senate Health Committee Chair Senator Richard Pan and Assembly Health Committee Chair

Assemblymember Jim Wood also joined the Governor during today’s announcement and voiced their support for the plan. “Physicians have been on the front lines of this pandemic from Day One. To provide the best care possible to our patients we need fast, reliable diagnostic testing,” said Peter N. Bretan, Jr., M.D., President of the California Medical Association. “We applaud Governor Newsom for helping us address that need. Rapid testing also increases our ability to do effective contact tracing to help stem the spread of COVID-19.” “Every Californian, regardless of age, race, income or immigration status, needs rapid and reliable results for testing for COVID-19, if we are to ultimately contain this coronavirus,” said Anthony Wright, Executive Director of Health Access California. “Californians will benefit from us having this increased capacity for COVID-19 testing, at a set and affordable price.”

health and essential to make sure there is a free and fair election. “Millions of Americans, especially older Americans, have been advised by their physicians and public health experts to stay home,” she said. “The post office continues to raise alarms about being able to handle the increased volume. How can we possibly call these elections fair?” She accused Trump of using the post office as a weapon. “In June, right in the middle of this pandemic, and right in the middle of his dangerously low polling numbers, President Trump appointed Lewis DeJoy as postmaster general,” Brownley said. “This is a position that was held by Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln was now being given to a multi-millionaire who founded and still owns significant shares in a for-profit company that does significant business with the post office and other private shipping companies. Those shares, he refused to sell when he accepted the position. This postmaster general is dismantling the post office infrastructure, cutting back on salaries, decommissioning a significant number of high volume mail sorting machines, and removing blue neighborhood mailboxes across the country. Other key infrastructure has been removed.” Brownley claims this was done

to impede the post office’s ability to handle important mail quickly right in the middle of the pandemic that was “deeply mishandled” by the president. “As a consequence, we will see a massive increase of critically important mail-in ballots this fall,” she said. “All of these changes directly jeopardize the election and disproportionately disenfranchise voters in communities of color. We know, given this president’s past attempts of trying to rig elections, that this is no coincidence. We cannot let it stand.” She proudly understands and supports the post office’s mission. “Just this week, thanks to the activism of the American people, the postmaster general was shamed into announcing a pause in operational changes that will further delay the mail,” she said. “This is not the solution. It’s misleading and not something, given all that’s happened, that we can take on faith. This pause will be wholly insufficient. The postmaster general has admitted that he has no intention to reverse the damage that has already been done; that is all the mailboxes removed.” She hopes her Republican colleagues will join her and do the right thing and put a stop to the president’s continued interference

in the election and continued mishandling of the election. “And his continued dismantling of the foundations of our democracy,” she said. “There is a fierce urgency for action now.” Brownley introduced Oxnard Mayor Pro Tem Carmen Ramirez, who she called a lifelong champion of underserved communities. “We are fortunate to have someone like Carmen, who consistently fights for our communities in Ventura County,” Brownley said. Ramirez said what happened at the post office is shocking. “So many of us depend on our post office and our post office workers for mail,” she said. “I brought mail, and I mail every day to friends and family. Especially during the time of this pandemic, you want to stay in touch. You can’t visit, and it’s better than an email many times. Many of us are getting our mortgage payments, our rent payments, our checks and unemployment checks for those who don’t have direct deposit. We need the postal office and the postal workers.” She called a healthy post office essential. “It’s almost of public health issue if you can’t get your medication,” she said. “We need the post office back and in healthy condition.” She visited the first post office

that Ben Franklin established in Philadelphia, next to Constitution Hall. “I am a fan of the post office, and I have been to the postal museum down in Washington by Union Station,” she said. “I know the glorious history of the post office. To see it being dismantled is unacceptable.” When asked if the post office is operating at a deficit, Brownley said it goes up and down. “There is, certainly on the Administration’s part, there is a desire to privatize the post office to make it to make it more efficient,” she said. “You have to realize that the post office is a public service. They deliver mail six days a week, in any kind of weather, to any mailbox in the country. The point is not to make a profit. That’s the reason why it’s in the Constitution. It’s a public service to our country that our American people depend on.” Looking ahead, she said mail-in ballots are a priority. “It has always been the policy of the United States to treat ballots as first-class mail, whether there is a first-class stamp on it or not,” she said. “What that means is that a piece of mail gets delivered in two to three days. The postmaster general is now saying that it can be up to 10 or 12 days. That’s unacceptable.”

Brownley continued from page 1

prosperous, she said the post office was in the center of that success and allowed businesses to grow from coast-to-coast. “They sent checks to new recipients of social security, helping raise the poor out of poverty and cemented a growing middle class,” Brownley said. “That was key to further economic expansion and greater citizen inclusion in our democracy. In fact, the post office was our most enduring ingredient in our democracy’s success.” Times have changed, she said, but the post office carries on. “The post office still delivers millions of social security checks, paychecks, tax returns, lifesaving prescription drugs, and, of course, absentee ballots to millions of Americans,” Brownley said. “As the chair of the house subcommittee on veteran’s health, I know how much our veterans struggle to get the care our nation has promised in return for risking their lives to protect our democracy. The Veteran’s Administration ships 80 percent of veteran’s prescription drugs via the post office. This has been and continues to be an important and critical service to our nation’s veterans.” During Covid-19, she said the post office is critical to protect public

NEWS State Officials announce latest COVID-19 facts SACRAMENTO – The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) today announced the most recent statistics on COVID-19 on Aug. 25. • California has 673,095 confirmed cases to date. Numbers may not represent true day-over-day change as reporting of test results can be delayed. • There were 4,480 newly recorded confirmed cases Monday. Numbers do not represent true day-over-day change as these results include cases from prior to yesterday. • The 7-day positivity rate is 5.7 percent and the 14-day positivity rate is 6.3 percent. • There have been 10,762,506 tests conducted in California. This represents an increase of 110,019 over the prior 24hour reporting period. • As case numbers continue to rise in California, the total number of individuals who will have serious outcomes will also increase. There have been 12,257 COVID-19 deaths since the start of the pandemic. • A total of 34 counties are required to close indoor operations for certain sectors based on the July 13 order to slow community transmission.

“Who did that video,” she asked. “I would have done that video. Were people told these were only going to be luxury apartments for people who live elsewhere and come and spend the weekend? Were the people told they would not be able to go to the park there anymore and find parking? I’m sure they weren’t told that.” She saw the big box of cards the people signed that said, wouldn’t you like to support a great new Fisherman’s Wharf? “Yes, I would, but I thought it was blatantly shameless,” Ramirez said. Ramirez said that Former City Manager Greg Nyhoff and current City Manager Alex Nguyen held productive meetings with Oxnard’s development staff. They’d come up with great ideas, then leave the meeting feeling like there’s been progress on things that benefit everyone. “Then they’d get a letter saying this is our proposal,” she said. “It would be almost exactly the same words over and over again. There was no movement on the county side.” Additionally, Ramirez said Ventura County counseled the city

on a tax sharing agreement. There is a project that “desperately’ needs to be annexed by LAFCO, the Ventura County Agency Formation Commission. She said the city can’t annex property unless they have enough resources to provide enough water, sewer, trash, fire, and police infrastructure. “We can’t just say that we’re going to take Nyland Acres in or El Rio, Silver Strand, or Hollywood Beach,” she said. “We’re not going to take it unless you can show you have the capacity to provide municipal services. It is called a municipal service review. A number of times, there is a proposal to add some unincorporated land into a city. Then there is a review of the city’s capacity to provide those essential services.” As the moratorium on evictions continues in California due to Covid-19, landlords are not collecting rent. At some point, the moratorium will end, and renters will need to work out a payment plan and catch up past due rent they didn’t pay because they lost their job during the pandemic. If renters walk away from their debt, that could mean landlords; the

independent small property owners can face catastrophic circumstances and loose everything. “I think we need to help the small landlords,” she said. “They have to pay their bills too, and the consequences are they’re going to have to kick people out, so they can have rent coming in, so they can pay their bills. The law and resources have to come from the state and the federal government. We are wealthy enough to help people during this crisis, whether they are a small landlord, an unemployed person, a restaurant owner, or a small businessperson. We used our resources in such a terrible way to let these huge companies not pay any taxes.” She cited individuals and huge companies, like Google, who don’t pay their fair share of taxes. Ramirez noted that Amazon is now paying taxes. “We pay taxes for the streets,” she said. “Yea, they’re not in the best shape. We pay taxes for education. We want children to be educated. That way, they can be productive, contribute, and not live lives of poverty and suffering. That costs money, and you’ve got to pay for it. Who’s going to pay for it?”

She doesn’t advocate privatization. “That means you have to pay to get a good sewer and clean water,” she said. “Not just pay what it costs, that’s Prop 218, you’re going to pay what it costs to the city or whoever is purveying that water. This is what it costs. It’s not an extra profit for some fat cats. It’s what it costs to have debt service, infrastructure, and insurance.” As a Ventura County Supervisor, Ramirez will advocate a good relationship and more cooperation between the county and the City of Oxnard that benefit businesses and residents. “I want better communication between the residents, especially the Spanish speakers of our city,” she said. “I have years of experience on several regional boards and committees dealing with regional issues, like the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District, Economic Development Collaborative, which I chaired last year, the So Cal Association of Governments, and the VC Local Agency Formation Commission, which I’m chairing this year. I also chair of the Ventura County Animal Services Commission.”

She also advocates non-profits that serve Ventura County, such as the Ventura County Community Foundation, and more. “I made a serious effort to get involved in things,” she said. “Yes, I had the luxury of having work that allowed me to do so. I also worked on homeless issues with the Continuum of Care Board at the County; community group efforts, like Teatro De Las Americas, a bilingual community theater, and many other groups. I am collaborative, accessible to all, and will listen to people I might disagree with.” Covid-19 presents difficult challenges ahead of us, she said, and besides the virus, there are economic disasters for so many in their personal and business lives. “There is the impact of climate change on our county, including sea-level rise and fire danger,” she said. “We can do better; I’ve been training for it and making an effort that is paying off despite being only one council member. I’ll do the same and provide leadership for the future for everyone at the County level.” For more information, visit carmen4supervisor.com.

SENIORS 805 How to Prevent Falls During a Pandemic

Dear Savvy Senior, My 80-year-old mother, who lives alone and is self-isolating during the coronavirus pandemic, has fallen several times. Are there any extra precautions you recommend that can help prevent this? Concerned Daughter Dear Concerned, Falls are a common concern for many elderly adults and their families, especially during the coronavirus pandemic when many seniors are sheltering at home alone. Each year, more than 1-in-4 older Americans fall, making it the leading cause of both fatal and

nonfatal injuries for those age 65 and older. But many falls can be prevented. Depending on what’s causing your mom to fall, here are some different tips that can help prevent it. Encourage exercise: Weak leg muscles and poor balance are two of the biggest risk factors that cause seniors to fall. Walking, strength training and tai chi are all good for improving balance and strength, as are a number of balance exercises your mom can do anytime like standing on one foot for 30 seconds then switching to the other foot, and walking heelto-toe across the room.

For additional balance and leg strengthening exercises, see AgeBold.com. Review her medications: Does your mom take any medicine, or combination of medicines, that make her dizzy, sleepy or lightheaded? If so, make a list or gather up all the drugs she takes – prescriptions and over the counter – and contact her doctor or pharmacist for a drug review and adjustment. Get a vision test: Poor vision can be another contributor to falls, so your mom should get her eyes checked once a year and be sure to update her eyeglasses if needed. Also be aware that if your mom wears bifocal or progressive lenses, they too can cause falls, especially when walking outside or going down steps. These lenses can affect depth perception, so she may want to get a pair of glasses with only her distance prescription for outdoor activities. If your mom is concerned about a trip into her eye doctor during

the pandemic, she can get her vision tested online. Put a call her eye doctor about this option, or consider some online vision testing sites like Essilor.com or 6over6. com. And to buy eyeglasses online, some popular options include WarbyParker.com and ZenniOptical.com. Fall-proof her home: There are a number of simple household modifications you can do to make your mom’s living area safer. Start by helping her arrange or move the furniture so there are clear pathways to walk through and pick up items on the floor that could cause her to trip like newspapers, shoes, clothes, electrical or phone cords. If she has throw rugs, remove them or use double-sided tape to secure them. In the bathroom buy some nonskid rugs for the floors and a rubber suction-grip mat or adhesive non-skid tape for the floor of the tub or shower, and have a carpenter install grab bars in and around the tub/shower for support.

Also, make sure the lighting throughout the house is good, purchase some inexpensive plug-in nightlights for the bathrooms and hallways, and if she has stairs, put handrails on both sides. For more tips, see the NIA “fall-proofing your home” web page at NIA.NIH.gov/health/fallproofing-your-home. Choose safe footwear: Going barefoot or wearing slippers or socks at home can also cause falls, as can wearing backless shoes, high heels, and shoes with smooth leather soles. The safest option for your mom is rubber-sole, low-heel shoes. Purchase some helpful aids: If your mom needs some additional help getting around, get her a cane or walker. Also, to help ensure your mom’s safety, and provide you some peace of mind, consider getting her a medical alert device that comes with a wearable emergency button that would allow her to call for help if she were to fall or need assistance.

California ‘dream house,’ decades in the making, is in ashes By Adam Beam and Noah Berger

The Law Office of

VACAVILLE, Calif. (AP)—When he closes his eyes at night, Hank Hanson hears sirens in his dreams—a byproduct of living nearly 30 years in the wildfireprone wilderness of Northern California between San Francisco and Sacramento. But about 1 a.m. Wednesday, Hanson knew he wasn’t dreaming when he looked to the hills above his home. The ridge line, where he and his wife in daylight tracked the sun’s shifting seasonal paths, was lit up as if someone had strung lights across it and plugged it in. “It started pouring toward us

like a waterfall,” Hanson, 81, said. The fire was one of the more than 500 wildfires ignited across California this week from what state firefighting officials are calling a “lightning siege”—summer thunderstorms that produce little or no rain but have prompted nearly 12,000 lightening strikes across sun-scorched terrain. More than 13,700 firefighters are battling the blazes, the most severe of which are focused in Northern California west of the state capital in Sacramento and east of the San Francisco Bay. The extraordinary reach of the flames has pushed firefighting resources to the point “we have not seen in recent history,”

said Shana Jones, chief of the SonomaLake-Napa unit of the state Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. With firefighting crews stretched thin, there was no evacuation warning for Hanson and his neighbors. Luckily, Hanson was awake because his electricity was out and the stifling 95-degree (35C) temperature prevented him from sleeping. He quickly woke up his wife, and the two raced in their diesel truck down the road. The air rang with car horns as people desperately tried to wake up their neighbors. Hanson and his wife made it to a hotel room in the nearby community of Fairfield, grateful they were alive. They found out later that their house was destroyed by the fire. The house was really two houses. The first was a small redwood home originally built in Vacaville in the 1930s but later moved to the property. Hanson, who owned a business that made patio enclosures, bought the property in 1974. He spent weekends there for the next 17 years, planting walnut, peach, fig and eucalyptus trees. In 1991, he completed a 3,000 square-foot (279-square-meter) addition to that house. It had a wine n Dream house, see page 9

SENIORS 805 Oh, for a life like my kitty Dr. James L. Snyder The other night the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and I were watching the news on TV. All it showed was riots, looting, and chaos, which has become the normal. When will they ever get back to broadcasting good news? After a while, I heard a deep sigh on the other side of the room, and somebody say, “What’s wrong with people?” Being a veteran husband, I knew that was not a question I was supposed to respond to with a very logical answer. I knew the person asking that question was not looking for any response from me. I kept from looking in her direction. Although I did not say it aloud, I did have to agree with her that we are living in some very crazy and chaotic times. Oh, if only I could go back and live in the 60s again with those hippies! I just let that go, realizing that there is no way to answer such an inquiry. People will do what people will do. Many of those people are not good people. Thinking about this, I remembered a little change that came into our house about a month ago. Getting up one morning as I looked out the glass doors onto the back porch, I saw a little kitty looking at me. It could not have been more than a month old. I had no idea where this little kitty

came from. I assumed it was just passing through, and the mama was somewhere around the corner. As my wife came into the kitchen, I said, “Look at that little kitty on the porch. Isn’t it cute?” Even before she looked, she said very sternly, “Don’t you dare feed that kitten.” I think the problem between husbands and wives is that husbands can hear, but have a hard time listening. I am sure I heard what she said, but it never registered in my brain. Of course, nothing really registers in my brain. I began sneaking out little bits of treats for this little kitty, and to my surprise, it stayed around for a month so far. After getting up in the morning, I would go to the glass door, look out, and sitting in front of the door looking at me was the kitty. It would look at me, then turn and look at the food dish, which was empty at the time, and then look back at me and meow. I have as many problems with a little kitty’s meow as I do with a Girl Scout’s brown eyes when they are selling cookies. Trying to do it with as much sleuthfulness as possible to keep my little secret from my wife, I fed the little kitty every morning and evening. Sherlock Holmes, I am

not, but somebody in our residence comes very close to that. Of course, my little secret was discovered. One afternoon I went out to sit on the porch with the kitty two have a

conversation. The kitty lay down, facing me, and I began our little conversation. “What do you think all of this nonsense and chaos and looting that’s going on in the world today? The little kitty yawned a big yawn and stretched like it was getting ready to go to sleep. It acted as if it had no idea what I was talking about. It was very calm, cool, and collected and seemed to be enjoying resting on the back porch. “What do you think about all this mask-wearing people are doing

today? Do you understand what that’s all about?” Nonchalantly, the kitty laid his head down on its paws and closed its eyes as though it was no concern. I had more questions I asked the little kitty and got the same answers. Then, the little kitty stood up, looked at me, looked over at the food dish, looked back at me, and softly meowed. Although the kitty was not too interested in my questions, it was interested in her question, “When are you going to put food in my dish?” I got some food, put it in the dish, and watched as the little kitty ate. Watching her, I could not help but be just a wee bit jealous. This little kitty had no idea what was going on in the world and could live on my back porch as though nothing in the world was wrong. All that concerned this kitty was having her dish filled with food. That little kitty’s world is one of peace, serenity, and “kitty food.” Nothing else had her attention for the least bit of time. I have tried talking to this kitty about the latest news that was happening in the world and how nervous everybody was and how much fear there was, and it never influenced her one bit. After all, no matter how bad the

LNU Lightning Complex fire. It’s the second-largest wildfire in state history and has burned more than 490 square miles (1,270 square kilometers). Hanson said he is treating the fire as “an adventure” and talks excitedly when describing his harrowing escape . But his voice catches when he talks about the house, especially

when he says he won’t rebuild. “I worked on it for 30 years. It was pretty nice,” he said. “I wouldn’t want to do it on a lesser scale, and I don’t got time to top the old one.” Hanson said he plans to turn the lot into a park and a campground for himself and his friends for the next few years.

But first, he had some shopping to do. His tomatoes, surprisingly, did not burn. He bought some hoses and plans to return to the ranch in an attempt to water them, assuming the deer haven’t eaten them first. “They escaped the whole deal,” he said. “About the only thing I have left in the world is tomatoes.”

Bacon By Connor Forbes We are going to stick with the simple theme this week with Bacon! Last week we fried an egg, now lets make that breakfast a little more complete.

ACON ties any breakfast together, and being honest with ourselves, bacon makes just about every meal better. Bacon is not that simple to cook. At first glance it seems very basic and straight forward but there are actually a bunch of factors at play to make the perfect bacon strips.

Heat and size are the two most important factors for bacon. If you get those dialed in, your bacon will be excellent. Let me show you how I like to make perfect bacon every time. Ingredients Bacon Strips

To Cook Cut your bacon strips in half. In a stainless-steel or cast-iron pan lay out the strips so they do not overlap. Turn the burner on medium-low. Cook on mediumlow the whole time. Leave bacon untouched until you can see the first side is cooked. Flip bacon to get an even cook on the second side. Cook for as long or short as you like. The shorter the more tender, the longer the crispier. I go for a crispy edge and tender middle. About 20-25 minutes. For bonus points, fry your eggs in the bacon grease. This is better than oil, for sure. The reason I cut the bacon strips in half is to get even cooks throughout the bacon pieces. The longer the strip the more the ends tend to curl and not get cooked all the way. And since that ends tend to be fatty, those bits can be less than as amazing as the rest of the strip. Cutting the strip in half solves this problem. The medium-low heat is the best way to get the cook you want. And the splattering that usually accompanies frying bacon is greatly reduced. I hope you enjoyed this dish!

Customers revel in Nothing Bundt Cakes pop up sale Oxnard-- As the world continues to cope with the effects of Covid-19, businesses are expanding their horizons and reaching out via pop up sales at strategic locations to enhance revenue.

OTHING Bundt Cakes, a local bakery chain in Ventura, has embraced that idea and brought their creations to The Collection at River Park Aug. 22 and 23. The pop-up operated out of a company van and featured bitesized treats and classic flavors with wholesome ingredients, like milk, butter, eggs, and cream cheese. The pop up did well, as most of their inventory was sold out at their half-way point on Aug. 22. Cake Decorator and student Raylene Hernandez said they’re busy because of the quarantine, but they are always looking for ways to expand their market and get Nothing Bundt Cakes out to the people. “We have our regulars, but we want to seek out new people, as well,” she said. “A lot of people came up to me and said we really don’t want to make the trip to Ventura. Even though it’s close by, probably a 10-minute drive, they don’t want to make the trip, so they are happy to see a pop-up shop.” People told her that Nothing Bundt Cakes should open at The Collection, and she thinks that’s a cool idea. Raylene said the secret to

Customers line up for sweet treats at the Nothing Bundt Cakes pop up sale at The Collection at River Park. frosting a good bundt cake is having a lot of patience. “Even if it’s a cute little design and simple to decorate,” she said. “I’ve been told it looks simple to decorate, but it’s not. It takes a lot of practice and patience, and your hand cramps up a lot.” She loves working at the bakery. “I enjoy working with desserts,” she said. “I love frosting cakes and talking to people. It took me about two weeks to perfect the whole frosting technique. It took me so many grueling hours of work. When we practice, we don’t do it on the cakes itself; we do it over plastic wrap or a little cake pan and continuously reuse the frosting, so we don’t waste anything.” When Covid-19 struck, she ended up unemployed with unemployment benefits that didn’t come through. “It was crazy the first few months,” Raylene said. “It was

March, then it was April, and I was out of work. I struggled to pay my bills, and I saw an ad that said Nothing Bundt Cakes needed a cake decorator in Ventura. I love bundt cake, and am a big fan of these cakes,” she said. “I’ve been going there for years and getting random ones.” She had previous bakery experience. “They hired me on the spot, that’s when they started my training, and I’ve been there ever since,” she said.

“It’s my favorite cake in the world, and I was happy to see the pop-up,” she said. “I like the Red Velvet bundt cake because I am a chocolate addict.” Nothing Bundt Cakes is located at 1794 S Victoria Ave. Suite A in Ventura.

HEALTH Thousands allowed to bypass environmental rules in pandemic By Ellen Knickmeyer, Cathy Bussewitz and John Flesher Thousands of oil and gas operations, government facilities and other sites won permission to stop monitoring for hazardous emissions or otherwise bypass rules intended to protect health and the environment because of the coronavirus outbreak, The Associated Press has found.

HE result: approval for less environmental monitoring at some Texas refineries and at an army depot dismantling warheads armed with nerve gas in Kentucky, manure piling up and the mass disposal of livestock carcasses at farms in Iowa and Minnesota, and other risks to communities as governments eased enforcement over smokestacks, medical waste shipments, sewage plants, oilfields and chemical plants. The Trump administration paved the way for the reduced monitoring on March 26 after being pressured by the oil and gas industry, which said lockdowns and social distancing during the pandemic made it difficult

to comply with anti-pollution rules. States are responsible for much of the oversight of federal environmental laws, and many followed with leniency policies of their own. AP’s two-month review found that waivers were granted in more than 3,000 cases, representing the overwhelming majority of requests citing the outbreak. Hundreds of requests were approved for oil and gas companies. AP reached out to all 50 states citing open-records laws; all but one, New York, provided at least partial information, reporting the data in differing ways and with varying level of detail. Almost all those requesting waivers told regulators they did so to minimize risks for workers and

the public during a pandemic— although a handful reported they were trying to cut costs. The Environmental Protection Agency says the waivers do not authorize recipients to exceed pollution limits. Regulators will continue pursuing those who “did not act responsibly under the circumstances,” EPA spokesman James Hewitt said in an email. But environmentalists and public health experts say it may be impossible to fully determine the impact of the country’s first extended, national environmental enforcement clemency because monitoring oversight was relaxed. “The harm from this policy is already done,” said Cynthia Giles, EPA’s former assistant administrator under the Obama administration. EPA has said it will end the COVID enforcement clemency this month. Refinery giant Marathon Petroleum, already struggling financially before the pandemic, was one of the

most aggressive in seeking to dial back its environmental monitoring. On the same day EPA announced its new policy, the Ohio-based company asked Indiana officials for relief from its leak detection, groundwater sampling, spill prevention, emissions testing and hazardous waste responsibilities at its facilities statewide. “We believe that by taking these measures, we can do our part to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus,” Tim Peterkoski, environmental auditing and processes manager for Marathon Petroleum, told the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Marathon also pushed for and was granted permission to skip environmental tests at many of its refineries and gas stations in California, Michigan, North Dakota and Texas. Spokesman Jamal Kheiry said Marathon sought broad regulatory relief early in the pandemic, when it was uncertain how long lockdowns would last or how its operations would be affected. But the company continued emissions monitoring and other activities and usually met deadlines, he said. Penny Aucoin, a resident of New Mexico’s oil-rich Permian Basin, said since the pandemic, she and her husband have spent days begging regulators to investigate surges of noxious gas or hisses that they feared could signal a dangerous leak from one of the many oil and gas companies operating near their mobile home. “There’s nobody watching,” Aucoin said. “A lot of stuff is going wrong. And there’s nobody to fix it.”

Scientists say Hong Kong man got coronavirus a second time By Marilynn Marchione HONG KONG—Univer sity of Hong Kong scientists claim to have the first evidence of someone being reinfected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Genetic tests revealed that a 33-year-old man returning to Hong Kong from a trip to Spain in mid-August had a different strain of the coronavirus than the one he’d previously been infected with in March, said Dr. Kelvin KaiWang To, the microbiologist who led the work. The man had mild symptoms the first time and none the second time; his more recent infection was detected through screening and testing at the Hong Kong airport. “It shows that some people do not have lifelong immunity” to the virus if they’ve already had it, To said. “We don’t know how many people can get reinfected. There are probably more out there.” The paper has been accepted by the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases but not yet published, and some independent experts urged caution until full results are available. Whether people who have had COVID-19 are immune to new infections and for how long are key questions that have implications for vaccine development and decisions about returning to work, school and social activities. Even if someone can be infected a second time, it’s not known if they have some protection against serious illness, because the immune system generally remembers how to make antibodies against a virus it’s seen before.

MOVIE REVIEW

“The Secret Garden” “The Secret Garden”

By Bob Garver

perfect shades? It’s also worth mentioning that the garden is sprawling, as its magic properties apparently include the ability to be larger than the dimensions of its walls. This is at least the third movie I’ve seen this year to be disorienting like this, but this is the first time I’ve enjoyed it. A few minor quibbles: it’s sometimes hard to understand the dialogue with the actors’ accents, especially from Julie Walters as the estate’s head housekeeper. I found it hard to buy Egerickx and Hayhurst as initially-unpleasant children, which I guess is a testament to the young actors’ natural likeability. Perhaps my biggest gripe is that I wasn’t crazy about the writing of the Dickon character. The screenplay relies on him too much for strictly functional purposes, like when other characters need help from someone handy with tools or familiar with the estate. There’s one scene where Martha tells Mary that Dickon will lose much more than she will if they both get in trouble together, and Mary (and the movie) just blows off the class discrepancy, which is also a racial discrepancy, instead of considering that Dickon has his own set of challenges. A few rough edges aside, this is a delightful take on “The Secret Garden.” I wish I’d been able to catch the film’s outstanding visuals on the big screen, but then again a theatrical release might have seen it swallowed up by more marketable properties. Speaking of having to watch the film at home, there’s a timely message here about finding treasures wherever you live. Kids can certainly take that message to heart, and some adults can probably use it too.

It’s been a while since I reviewed a kids’ movie. “Scoob!” was the last one, all the way back in May. There’s a pleasantness to these movies that I missed. Obviously, kids’ movies can get into dark subject matter the same way movies for grown-ups can be light, and indeed this movie is heavy on characters dealing with loss and estrangement. But this movie, like most kids’ movies, is quick to turn those storm clouds into a rainbow. And it’s in a way the whole family can enjoy, with plenty of bright colors and whimsy, but no lame physical humor or obnoxious pop music.

HE movie, based on a classic novel, follows 10-year-old Mary Lennox (Dixie Egerickx) as she loses her parents in India and goes to live with her mysterious uncle Archibald Craven (Colin Firth) at his huge estate in England. Mary is miserable and spoiled, unable to dress herself and refusing to express emotion. Archibald is a miserable recluse who spends his days mourning the loss of his wife ten years earlier. Archibald has a son named Colin (Edan Hayhurst) who is also miserable and spoiled, confined to a bed with a spinal condition of dubious legitimacy. What could possibly make these characters snap out of their funk? A dog, of course. Okay, a dog that leads them to the secret garden. Colin’s mother started the secret garden, but no one has been in it for ten years because Colin has been bedridden and Archibald is too mopey to bother with it. Mary and Dickon (Amir Wilson), the brother of chipper servant girl Martha (Isis Davis), find the garden and decide they need to show it to Colin

Limón ducks tax increase question If the taxpayer’s taxable By Chris Frost income is over the adjusted chris@tricounrtysentry.com

Oxnard-- State Assembly Member Monique Limón, a candidate for the California State Senate, has declined to state whether she will support AB AB1253, which levies an additional tax for the wealthiest Californians. The bill for taxable years, beginning on or after Jan 1, 2020, means in addition to regular taxes, it imposes an additional tax at the rates of 1 percent, 3 percent, and 3.5 percent on that portion of a taxpayer’s taxable income over specified thresholds on the wealthiest Californians. If your taxable income is over the adjusted $1 million amount, but not over the adjusted $2 million amount, the state will tax an additional 1 percent of your income.

$2 million amount, but not over the adjusted $5 million amount, California will charge you an additional 3 percent. The story began with an editorial in the Aug 21 edition of the Tri County Sentry, in which there was a discussion of how AB1253 equated to an eventual tax increase for the middle class. The piece opined that the wealthiest Californians would cut back on business expenses to ensure their profitability and cut back on purchases, meaning fewer jobs and less tax revenue for the state. Limón, in an interview with the Sentry, said sacrifices had to be made in the budget, but she promised no tax increase for the middle class. She is running for state senate, and the editorial pointed out that playing to the masses is a good move. After publication, Limón’s

Upon reviewing the bill as first introduced at the statehouse, the Tri County Sentry sent a response and singled out this part of the original bill:

Assembly member Monique Limón

Communications Director Jorge Reyes Salinas contacted the paper and asked for a clarification. “Assembly Member did not vote for the tax, and the tax has not had a vote,” he said. He said the bill was gutted and replaced in the Senate, and the vote occurred before the tax increase bill became part of AB1253. The bill was originally about the Local Agency Formation Commissions but changed.

SECTION 1. SEC. 2. The Legislature hereby finds and declares: (a) This Local agency formation commissions play a critical role in the logical formation of local agency boundaries, the promotion of orderly development, and the efficient and effective provision of services. act provides for a tax levy within the meaning of Article IV of the California Constitution and shall go into immediate effect.” That wording gives the state the right for a tax levy right away and mirrors the revised bill calling for extra tax on the wealthiest Californians. The Sentry reached out for clarification and explanation on the matter and asked the direct question, will Limón vote yes or no on the bill if it ever comes to a vote? As of press time, Limon’s office did not respond to the email.

ENTERTAINMENT Louis-Dreyfus ‘proud to be a nasty, nasty woman’ for Dems By David Bauder NEW YORK (AP)—The star of “Veep” brought some bite to her role at the Democrats’ virtual convention.

CTRESS Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the celebrity host for the convention’s final night Thursday, took some pointed shots at President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. “I’m proud to be a nasty, nasty woman,” said the 11-time Emmy winner. Promotion of the “30330” text address for information on Biden’s campaign provided fodder for two jokes at Trump’s expense. She said 30330 “would be the president’s golf score if he didn’t cheat.”

She also said “an easy way to remember 30330 is that’s the year Donald Trump will finally release his tax returns. If we all vote, there’s nothing Facebook, Fox News and Vladimir Putin can do to stop us.” Louis-Dreyfus’ lines stood in contrast to an otherwise warmand-fuzzy night where the chief goal was to establish Democratic president candidate Joe Biden as a man of character and empathy. Louis-Dreyfus said she was so struck by Biden’s warmth and kindness when he called after she received a cancer diagnosis that it made her cry. “Our current president has made me cry, too, but it’s never had anything to do with his warmth and kindness,” she said. After a segment on Biden’s faith, Louis-Dreyfus made reference

to Trump’s photo op holding up a Bible after demonstrators near the White House were cleared away for

him. “Joe Biden goes to church so regularly he doesn’t even need tear gas or a bunch of federalized troops to help him get there,” she said. She targeted Pence in a reference to the seeming difficulty—either intentional or not—that some Republicans have had pronouncing Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ first name. “I cannot wait to see her debate our current vice president, Mika Pints,” she said. “Or is it Paints?” Later, it was “Vice President Poonce.” Louis-Dreyfus predicted Trump would attack her on Twitter as “a washed-up, horse-face, no-talent has-been with low ratings.” “Well, with all due respect, sir, it takes one to know one,” she said.

Hours before in a separate hearing, Giannulli, whose Mossimo clothing had long been a Target brand until recently, told the judge he “deeply” regrets the harm to his daughters, wife and others. “I take full responsibility for my conduct. I am ready to accept the consequences and move forward, with the lessons I’ve learned from this experience,” Giannulli, 57, said in a stoic statement. In her lawyer’s own words, Loughlin became the “undisputed face of the national scandal” thanks to her fame. Her arrest shattered her clean image and destroyed her acting career. “Lori lost the acting career she spent 40 years building,” attorney BJ Trach said. “She has become intertwined with the college admissions scandal.”

Mural highlights Dolly Parton’s Black Lives Matter quote By Kristin M Hall NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Tourists are flocking to Nashville to see a new mural of Dolly Parton that celebrates her position on Black Lives Matter. Mural artist Kim Radford had already decided to paint the mural of the country music icon on the side of a local music club called The 5 Spot, which was made famous for being one of the many filming locations for the TV show “Nashville.” But as she was finishing the mural, Radford saw an article from Billboard in which Parton said she supported the Black Lives Matter movement, saying “Of course Black lives matter. Do we think our little white (expletive) are the only ones that matter?” So Radford quickly added the quote to the top of the mural, replacing part of the curse word with butterflies and soon enough, pictures started spreading on social media. The mural features cascading waves of Parton’s signature high-volume blond hair surrounded by butterflies and wildflowers. “I looked at her quote in particular and it was so sassy and a sensitive comment about something’s that got a lot of friction in the air right now,” said Radford. “And she just treated it just like Dolly does: lovingly. And it was just perfect.” The mural features cascading waves of Parton’s signature high-volume blond hair surrounded by butterflies and wildflowers.
